Sunflower Prayers- A Sketch with a Color Challenge :-)

Hi Stampers!

I hope you are
having a great weekend so far! I decided
to stay up late (or early depending on your point of view:-) and create one more
card. This one incorporates the PalsPaper Arts PPA159 Sketch along with the Dynamic Duos DD53 Color Challenge. Again, if you have not done so yet, please
take a moment to stop by each site and check them out!

Whenever I use
black lately, I find that I tend to gravitate towards either heat embossing, or in this case,
my printer ink and My Digital Studio (MDS). I love the crisp clean lines that you can get with the digital image plus as I studied the color combo, I knew that I had the perfect images
already printed ready to go!! Love using
MDS for this very reason.

To create this
card:

Print the image
from the Sunflower Background Brush stamp set (resize to approx. ½ the size of
the actual stamp) and the sentiment from Thoughts and Prayers onto Whisper
White cardstock.

Carefully cut out
the sunflower image and cut the petals apart to remove all of the white
background.

Use the Big Shot™
with the Lacy Brocade Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder to emboss a piece
of Pacific Point Designer Series Paper and a piece of Basic Black
cardstock. Lightly sand the Pacific
Point DSP and cut into a 3 ½” square, mount onto Basic Black and again onto
Whisper White cardstock.

Use the Big Shot™
with the Adorning Accents Edgelit™ to cut two lacy edge pieces for the top and
the bottom of the card and assemble per the sketch.

Add the 5/8” Basic Black Satin Ribbon bow along with the punched sentiment to
finish off the card (the punch used is a sneak peek of the new Artisan Label
Punch). Add the Pearls to finish off the
card.
